Presumably, after installing Windows, I would reconnect the Ubuntu drive
and disconnect the Windows drive. Then, make the amendment to grub.conf
as follows:-
title Windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
after which re-attach the Windows drive and reboot.
One question, please do I use hd0 and hd1 or do I use sd0 and sd1?
